Have you noticed unauthorized charges on your credit or ATM card showing up on your statement? The charges we get are SHOPPERS DISCOUNT and COMPLETE SAVINGS, $12 each, every month. Where did these companies get access to our credit card information?
It turns out when you order online at PizzaHut.com, they supply your credit card info to a 3rd party company, in this case, COMPLETE SAVINGS, and they start charging you a monthly fee for discounts you never get on products you never order. The way it works: the PizzaHut site offers you money off your order for filling out a survey. The survey is much longer than you expect. when you click out of it, it signs you up as agreeing to Terms and Conditions, which is a lie. Then PizzaHut gives your credit card info to a company you never heard of.

This also happens with VistaPrint.com, the business card company, only they set you up with SHOPPERS DISCOUNT. It turns out fandango.com and FTD.com do the same:

Shoppers Discount is WLI Shoppers Discount, part of WebLoyalty.com, and they slip these insidious small charges on credit card consumers around the world.
You can get more info by doing what I did, Google SHOPPERS DISCOUNT SCAM and see what comes up. Do the same for COMPLETE SAVINGS SCAM. Then go look at your bank statement. This is happening to hundreds of thousands of consumers.
The disappointment is that major corporations like PizzaHut are part of this scam. I will never buy their products again. I have reported this to our local consumer advocate, Al Sunshine at wcbs4.com. If there is a class action suit or government agency looking to bust these companies, I want in on it.
